Employer of Record & Payroll Hosting in Mozambique

You have found the person before you have the company. An employer of record lets you hire compliantly now and migrate the team to your own entity when it is registered.

When it makes sense

Market-entry teams, project staff on a defined mandate and a first country manager are the classic cases. It is a bridge, not a permanent substitute for an entity where you have sustained local operations.

What stays your responsibility

You direct the work; we carry the employment administration. Day-to-day management, performance and commercial decisions remain yours, and we set out the boundary clearly in the service agreement.

Foreign staff and quotas

Expatriate hires still need work authorisation, and employer quota rules apply to the hosting entity. We assess feasibility for each named role before you make an offer.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can someone start?

For a Mozambican national with documents in order, within days. For a foreign hire, the work-authorisation timeline governs.

Can we convert to our own entity later?

Yes, and it should be planned from the start so that service continuity, leave balances and benefits transfer cleanly.
